Friday night in the Bronx, Jimmy Rollins greeted A.J. Burnett with a home run to right field on the first pitch of the game. It was a portent of things to come. The shot by Rollins was the first of 4 round trippers for the Phillies, who used the long ball to defeat the Yanks 7-3...
The Yankees hit 3 home runs, but they were all solo shots and weren't enough to catch up...
With the loss, the Yankees winning streak ended at 9...
Additional Notes:
A.J. Burnett wasn't very sharp, allowing 5 runs on 8 hits over just 6 innings of work...
Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira all homered for the Yanks...
Tonight also marked the return of Chien-Ming Wang who relieved Burnett in the 7th...he was less than stellar though, giving up 2 earned runs on 6 hits in 3 innings of work...
Tomorrow, Andy Pettitte will take the hill...
Let's Go Yanks!
